In 2003 I married my wife Melissa and we have 5 children (Marilyn, Madison, Shelby, Shiloh and Marshall). Heckscher Drive has been our church family since 2004. I served as Youth Pastor before taking the position of Pastor in 2016. I love seeing people come to know Christ and to witness His life changing power. With a background of youth ministry, my goal is to have a unified body of believers of all ages worshipping together in Truth and in Spirit.

Robert Curran

Worship Leader

I have been blessed with the opportunity to serve as Worship Leader at Heckscher Drive Baptist Church. I believe all music that brings honor and glory to Christ is fitting in a worship service. It’s my desire to lead others to a new or renewed relationship with Christ, speaking and living the gospel of reconciliation and hope through my daily life and ministry. I am happily married to Ann Curran and I am the step-father to her three sons, Derek, Matt, and Aaron. Ann and I have served in music ministry together since we were married in 2001.

Mary Jean Baker

Children's Director

I have been blessed to be married to my sweet husband Cress since 1980. We have a son that is a firefighter with JFRD and daughter who serves alongside her husband on the mission field. We have been blessed with 2 granddaughters. My passion is to see children form a solid foundation for Christ. Serving Jesus at HDBC as Children’s Director, I get the opportunity to partner with parents to help build our next generation of believers.

Ann Curran

Pianist

I felt the call into music ministry when I was very young. While learning to play the piano, my inspiration came from listening to southern gospel music. The pianist for one of the groups that visited our church autographed a piece of sheet music for me with the words “To Ann - Play the piano for Jesus” and I’ve done this nearly all of my life since that time. I’m blessed to be married to Robert Curran, our Worship Leader, and I have three wonderful sons: Derek, Matt, and Aaron Murray. To God be the Glory for all the great things He has done.
